A baby crib will be one of the more expensive investments you will make for your baby’s nursery and as you will need it to last for around three years, you want it to be not only safe but also durable.

There are many things to consider when purchasing a crib. This guide will give you a few hints and tips to help with your purchase as well as describe the various cribs available on the market today.

When deciding on a crib, the first decision you will need to make is what shape you want the crib to be. In the past this wasn’t a consideration as generally only traditional rectangular shaped cribs were available. Today you can purchase not only rectangular shaped cribs but also round cribs and corner cribs.

Round baby cribs are a nice alternative to the traditional shape and round crib bedding is widely available. Corner cribs are a great space saving device for smaller nurseries. They are also suitable for multiple births as they can be placed together quite easily and look stunning.

Safety is always a big concern with baby cribs. Any baby crib sold in the US today should meet specific safety requirements. Be careful when purchasing antique or second-hand cribs as they may not meet these standards.

When shopping for a baby crib, consider the following:

The mattress should be adjustable to allow you to lower the height as your baby grows to prevent him or her from climbing out of the crib

The mattress should be of good quality and you can choose from foam or innerspring mattresses. See our article on crib mattresses.

The slats should be no wider than 2 3/8 inches to keep your baby’s head from getting stuck

One or both sides of the baby crib should be able to be lowered to allow you to easily pick up your baby *

Think about purchasing a convertible baby crib which will adjust as your toddler ages

There was a time when baby bedding was all flounces and laces and most of it didn’t fit the decor for a baby boy. Not anymore, nowadays there is an enormous range of designs and colors to suit a nursery designed for a baby boy and shopping online makes it even easier to make your bedding purchase.

The hardest thing will be deciding on a theme or design from the wide range available. However, once you have decided on your theme or design, you can purchase baby boy bedding items in sets or separately, depending on your budget.

Purchasing crib bedding sets is a cheaper option and you are generally guaranteed that the items will all match in color.

Sets can be made up of different items such as:

Fitted sheets

Crib bumpers

Ruffles

Crib blankets

Comforters

Quilts

Choose from designs such as Disney characters, always a favorite, Winnie the Pooh and friends, Thomas the Tank Engine, cars and trucks, army, airplanes, animals, circus, ABC as well as tartan and plaids.

Any one of these designs will enhance the nursery and most of the designs will grow with your baby boy right through the early childhood years.

There is also a vast range of accessories available to match the bedding that you have chosen such as lamp shades, valances, diaper stackers etc.

If you have friends who are expecting a baby boy why not buy them a crib bedding as al gift for the christening or baby shower.

Parents will be delighted to receive such a useful and thoughtful gift.

If you are beginning to look for an umbrella stroller, then your baby is probably reaching the age of about six months and is ready to sit up and look at the world around him. At this point, you are probably tired of pushing a big, hard to maneuver stroller in busy shopping malls and streets.

An umbrella stroller is exactly what you need to make life a little easier. Umbrellas strollers are lightweight, easy to maneuver and are quite affordable. They are easy to fold and pick up with your baby in your other arm and can easily be taken onto public transport or be placed in the trunk of a car.

The MacLaren company were actually the inventors of the umbrella stroller back in the 60’s. Maclaren also invented the three-fold system of folding strollers. This unique folding system allows the stroller to fold forward and inwards creating a neater, trimmer package.

For those with twins or triplets, double and triple umbrella strollers are available. These are manufactured to ensure that you still get the same benefits as a single stroller so they are still easy to fold and are relatively lightweight.

An umbrella stroller can be as affordable as you wish but remember that you generally get what you pay for. If you want something that will last the distance then try not to go for the cheapest model available. Look for good quality brand names and check the features thoroughly before making your decision.

With a baby in the house you don’t want to spend the time shopping in regular retail stores. Shopping with a baby can be difficult so why stress yourself out when you can purchase your entire baby bedding needs online.

Buying baby bedding online is easy. With a few clicks of your mouse you can have all your baby bedding needs delivered directly to your home.

There is an amazing number of choices available; from character sets including Mickey Mouse, Hello Kitty, Winnie the Pooh and Finding Nemo to the more traditional styles in laces and ribbons.

There is also an amazing range of colors available so you are sure to find a color to suit the décor of your nursery whether you have used beautiful pastels or more dramatic bold colors.

Think about buying baby bedding in sets rather than purchasing items seperately. Apart from getting a crib set that matches you will save money because generally sets work out cheaper than individual items and you won’t have to spend time looking for matching pieces.

Crib sets generally include the quilt or comforter, crib bumper and fitted sheet but larger sets can include a dust ruffle, diaper holder and even wall hangings.

Umbrella strollers are lightweight, easy to maneuver strollers. Why are they called umbrella strollers? Because they have hooked handles and fold up neatly like an umbrella. They are ideal for quick dashes to the shops or if you are taking public transport as they are quick and easy to fold and maneuver in crowded public areas.

Umbrella strollers are generally cheaper than most other strollers. Most are fairly basic without the added extras found in regular strollers such as under storage baskets and bottle holders. Unless they state otherwise, these strollers are generally not suited for newborns.

Not all umbrella strollers adjust right back so are not suited for young infants who need adequate head and neck support. They are best for toddlers who are able to sit upright in the stroller.

Reclining umbrella strollers are available online, with the convenience of the easy to fold facility but also provide support for baby’s developing neck and back muscles, whether sitting or reclining.

The recliner strollers have back slats built into the fabric and partially recline to allow baby to take a nap.

Umbrellas strollers are available in single, double and triple styles making them suitable for multiple births or where you have two or more infants close in age but not yet walking. Most parents purchase an umbrella stroller as a second stroller as their baby gets older. They are easy to fold, light enough to carry onto public transport and easy to place in the trunk of a car.
